SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Managing and coordinating actions across a parent directory containing multiple git repositories can be error-prone and time-consuming. This skill provides a structured set of commands to bootstrap workspaces, pull updates, check status, run the same command across all repos, and perform advisory preflight checks before mutating state.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Bootstrap a workspace by cloning multiple repos in parallel under a single parent directory.
  • Get per-repo status across all repos, including ahead/behind and dirty/clean checks, with optional CI status.
  • Perform advisory preflight checks to ensure safe operations before fan-out writes.
  • Refresh remote-tracking refs and fast-forward pull all repos in parallel.
  • Execute the same command in every repository, or in a selected subset, with per-repo isolation.
  • Handoff to orchestrating-swarms when a task requires investigation or coordinated mutation beyond a single workspace.

Quick Start

Initialize and manage a multi-repo workspace by bootstrapping repos and running a status sweep across all of them.

Frequently Asked Questions about managing-workspaces

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I run the same git command across multiple repositories at once?▼

To run the same git command across multiple repositories, use a fan-out execution method that applies the command to all or a selected subset of repos within a parent directory. This ensures per-repo isolation while executing identical commands efficiently across the workspace.

What is the best way to check the branch status of multiple git repositories?▼

Checking the branch status of multiple git repositories involves performing a workspace status sweep that reports ahead/behind and dirty/clean states for each repo. You can also include optional CI status to gain a comprehensive preflight view of your workspace.

How do I clone and pull updates for several git repositories in parallel?▼

Cloning and pulling updates for several git repositories in parallel requires a workspace bootstrapping mechanism that initializes repos under a single parent directory. You can then fast-forward pull all repos simultaneously to refresh remote-tracking refs efficiently.

How do I perform a preflight check before mutating shared branches in a multi-repo workspace?▼

Performing a preflight check before mutating shared branches involves running an advisory status check that enforces read-only polling before executing fan-out writes. This safety boundary ensures your multi-repo workspace operations remain secure before applying changes.

Can I execute a command in a selected subset of repositories instead of all of them?▼

Yes, you can execute a command in a selected subset of repositories instead of all of them by applying per-repo isolation during the fan-out operation. This enables targeted workspace management while maintaining safety boundaries across the broader parent directory.
